there’s a misconception that grief only happens when we lose people. this is not true. we can grieve circumstances, relationships, missed opportunities. in fact, sometimes when you find yourself plagued with waves of emotion from sadness to melancholy you may be grieving yourself. the version of yourself that you might have been if things had been different, or if only you had said something, or if someone had stood up for you.
god, girlhood is just something so special. when i went to watch barbie yesterday i ran to the bathroom during previews and some mom turned to her daughter and said ‘look other people are wearing pink’, and all around the theatre people were commenting on each others outfits, and it was so nice to just have that sense of community and support with absolute strangers you would never see again

Dorothy Porter is known as the "Dewey Decimal Decolonizer."
Dorothy Porter was an African American librarian who worked to challenge and decolonize library systems, including the Dewey Decimal System, which traditionally marginalized non-Western perspectives and cultures. She advocated for more inclusive classification systems that better represented diverse voices and histories.
Porter's work emphasized the importance of equity and representation within library collections, aiming to create spaces that reflect the richness and complexity of human experiences. Her efforts have contributed to ongoing discussions and actions toward decolonizing library practices worldwide.
